A few minutes peace savoring the last warm rays of the day, soaking up all that is good, a good read, in a good chair at a good sized window! Love everything about this painting!
Salon Rouge captures really intense warmth, both streaming in through the tall French window as well as bouncing off the vibrant red walls. I love everything about this room and am very happy with how it turned out!
This is my rendition of YSL's lounge complete with Monet's Lilies on the walls and striking red couch that draws the viewers eye into this rather grand interior!
Chambre á coucher, or bedroom, is such a beautiful, harmonious and inviting setting which en-campus everything I tried to capture in this painting. The star of the show must be the long yellow curtain that invites the viewer as well as the sunlight in!
This is a warm, opulent room lit by a beautiful chandelier. I tried to create an inviting interior painting that would compliment any French inspired room space.
This is the first in a series of French inspired, chateau interior paintings I plan to make . I guess it is my dream to live in one and until such a time.... I shall continue to create it on canvas!
Blue and yellow must be one of the most calming combinations of colour and I love the classic edge a bit of delft lends to any simple selection of fruit. Warm reflections of light play off on the silver urn in background to complete a lovely, homely scene.
So after some 'words' over the weekend, my husband came home with these B E A U T I F U L red roses today! Before the sun could set I quickly put together this still life, and still it is, as this peace offering had the desired effect!
A darling painting of shabby chic type of roses, beautifully fluffy. I love how it turned out and have used to produce a range of my gift bags. This painting would look lovely in any beach house setting or vintage type of interior.
Here is a lovely little oil on canvas study of a white rose. It is bright and soft with an interisting play between texture, tone and color. I did not use any white as it were, and in that lies the beauty of this painting. I believe it will look beautiful in any interior and would be easy to decorate any room with it.
